Dans le cadre d’un nouveau projet culturel entre le Museum national d’Histoire naturelle et la Villa Arson, une résidence de transmission pour la conception et l’animation d’ateliers familles est proposée aux alumni de la Villa Arson du 18 octobre au 2 novembre 2025. Les candidatures sont ouvertes jusqu’au dimanche 29 juin.

From June 5 to 8, 2025, the Villa Arson and the Université Côte d’Azur welcome the 7th edition of the international conference Art and the City. The goal? Facilitate dialogues and interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers, with an emphasis on the intersections between art, different types of urban space, the “right to the city”, aesthetics and urban environment policy. 

As early as 2004, Villa Arson committed to an ecological transition, marked by a major first step: the discontinuation of glyphosate use in its gardens. Initiated by Patrice Lorho, head gardener at Villa Arson, the ecological transition of the gardens has intensified over the past decade. In a district that has become densely populated over the years, Villa Arson and its gardens constitute a particular biotope and have become a real green lung for the city and its inhabitants.

From July 8 to 12, 2025, the Villa Arson Art Center invites teenagers and adults to participate in the summer school of art practices Underwater Constellation. Proposed by artist Gil Lekh, this summer school is designed as a space-time for learning, creating, and sharing in resonance with the exhibition Becoming Ocean: a social conversation about the Ocean. Entirely free, this event is accessible upon registration.
